NO 13 Whole No. 117 [extracts of marine news] Marine ------ The barge OLEAN was in Wednesday. The MARY runs exceedingly well this spring. The CITY OF CLEVELAND was on time Wednesday. The FLORA came in Sunday with quite an amount of freight. The ATLANTIC was in up and down Tuesday she runs better with her new wheel. The schooner RISING STAR cleared Tuesday with lumber for Chicago from Duncan. The schr. PARANA arrived at Duncan Saturday with grain, and loaded lumber for Chicago. The heavy gales of the past few weeks have done great damage on the west shore, driving a number of vessels ashore. The schooner ARABIA reported her Saturday short handed, but being unable to get hands here she continued on up as she was. The CANADA last week took out the first load of square timber this season. Several more vessels are expected to take out similar cargoes from this port. The low freights paralize the vessel men, who are lying up their tows all over the lakes. They think the season will close with a big boom. We hope so. The schooners ITASKA, HUNGERFORD and MIDLAND ROVER were detained by the storm her Saturday. The ITASKA ran back from Lake Huron several times. Notwithstanding the heavy gales on Lake Huron of late, the CITY OF CLEVELAND got in only a few hours behind time, while the rest of the boats were days behind. The deck hands of the steamer TOLEDO, of the Collingwood & Chicago line, kicked on loading 20 tons of coal here, and were paid off and discharged. They are a hard looking gang, so keep your doors locked. The CITY OF CLEVELAND last week ran the entire length of Lake Huron in the trough of a sea so heavy as to stop all the rest of the shore boats and made up two hours of time lost in St. Clair river on accound (sic) of fog. 'Rah for the CITY OF CLEVELAND. The Canadian propeller PRUSSIA was in Wednesday morning. Oh, how the Captain and Mate must have cussed when they tried to wind her around. The wind was blowing up stream and the river was full of logs, and between the wind and the logs in her wheel it took them two hours to turn around. It is rumored that the LEVIATHAN would return to Milwaukee and lay up when the fleet of wrecking tugs that are alleged to be about to swoop down upon us arrives. LEVIATHAN is an old tried veteran in the wrecking business and has the confidence of the lake captains and can get her full share of the business, and we hope she will stay. The steamer DOVE arrived here Sunday night and left on her first trip to the Sault Monday morning. She will run regularly leaving here on the arrival of the morning train from the south every Monday, Wed- nesday and Friday, returning the next evening. As she will lay off here Sunday and she is a fine excursion boat our people can confident- ially expect some glorious rides on the lake this summer. Detroit Free Press: The propeller NASHUA is at the Riverside Iron Works receiving a new piston. The NASHUA will leave for Mackinaw on Thursday night on the KEWEENAW'S time. The KEWEENAW will leave on Saturday night on the NASHUA'S time. The NASHUA will go through, but the KEWEENAW will make a short trip, turning round at Alpena and arriving back to leave on her own time on Thursday night of next week. The NASHUA, on arriving back, will stop over and leave on her regular time on Saturday. The scow MINNEHAHA, which left here a week or so ago lost her bow- sprit and jibboom and was otherwise damaged in a collision with the schooner RAINBOW on entering south Chicago. Vessels leaving Cheboygan seem to have rather hard luck. The schooner CLAYTON BELLE was the first to meet with disaster, and she lies at the bottom of Lake Huron held down with a cargo of pig iron. Then the R. J. GIBBS cleared only to strike a rock between here and Mackinac, and finally waterlog on Lake Michigan and sink on reaching Chicago. But we hope the old saying, a bad beginning makes a good ending may prove true. Capt. Grummond has just had new brasses and a new wheel put on his favorite propeller ATLANTIC, and she is now expected to run in her time table prompt as an express train. She has just received a new cabin outfit. The chandeliers from Williams, Page & Co. Boston alone costing $700. Arkie Whipple has two of the finest marine oil paintings we ever saw prepared for the cabin of the ATLANTIC. One, of Capt. Grummond's famous tug WINSLOW wrecking a large schooner strained on a desolate shore; the other, his tug SWAIN holding an enormous raft in face of a living gale. They will bear due inspection from art critics. ===========================================================================
